Maintaining your Heating & Cooling
equipment insures longer life and energy savings. In fact, A
Louisiana State University study found that properly maintained
equipment saved the
average home owner over $31.00 per month in energy savings,
that's $372.00 in annual savings - money back in your pocket!
So what do I get with Comfort Club™
Planned Service?
All Home
Comfort, Comfort Club™ Planned Service includes visual
inspection of unit components and wiring, a precision tune up
including inspection and lubrication of blower and fan motors,
checking refrigerant line suction and discharge refrigerant
pressures, run load testing to ensure units are running within
specified ranges, out door coil cleaning as required,
temperature differential testing and much more.
Gas heating
equipment also requires a visual inspection of heat exchangers
and induced draft motors to ensure that they are operating
unrestricted and to help prevent carbon monoxide gas escape into
conditioned space.
All systems
require periodic maintenance to system air filters that may
require cleaning or replacement on a regular basis.

Why
you should maintain your system?
Virtually all manufactures, consumer
protection groups, home warranty companies and the federal government require annual
maintenance and inspection, on all
split system and package HVAC units regardless of age.
Many manufactures will not honor equipment warranties without
proof of planed maintenance. Some Home Warranty companies void
your warranty with out proof of required planned maintenance. Maintenance should consist of a
minimum of annual service on both the heating and cooling
portions of your system and may require more frequent service
depending on equipment type, usage patterns, age, location, and
type of air filtration required.
But I
never had regular maintenance before, and it always ran fine...
Well I know
people who never went to the doctor for an annual check up, and
everything was fine until the Heart Attack happened.
Today's systems are more complex then systems of just a few
years ago. Most new systems have automated ignition systems and
on board computer type circuit boards that require service and
inspection. Regardless of the age of the equipment all systems
require regular maintenance to keep them running in safe and
peak condition.
The heat
exchanger is the heart of every heating system. It provides the
only separation of the toxic flue exhaust gases from the
supply air. If a crack develops in the heat exchanger, there is
a potential for carbon monoxide gas to leak over to the supply
side and be blown throughout your rooms. Carbon monoxide gas is
odorless. The human senses will not detect its presence. On an
extreme case, if the crack in your furnace is bad enough and the
conditions are right, you and your family may enter into a
permanent sleep.
Gas forced
air furnaces last approximately 15 years, some more, some less,
depending on how well maintained the unit is. Some conditions
that may shorten the life of your furnace are: the evaporator
unit of the air conditioner leaking onto the heat exchanger
causing it to rust out, dirt/dust building up on the high-limit
control switch forcing your furnace to turn on and off more
frequently, a dirty filter that drastically reduces air flow
which also will force your furnace to kick on and off more, or
dirt on the burners producing inefficient flames causing excess
soot buildup on the heat exchanger. Quite often we see the
interior insulation become loose and damage components or block
air flow. If a furnace is poorly
maintained, it is not uncommon to find a crack in the heat
exchanger much sooner than 15 years.
The importance of pre-season testing of the refrigerant charge
on all central air systems must be realized. The heart of all
such systems is the compressor. The compressor is the single
most costly part to replace in any central cooling system. The
compressor is cooled by the return of the refrigerant charge via
the suction line from the evaporator. It is only the last 5% of
the completed refrigerant charge that works to cool the
compressor. Central cooling systems can and may be running with
as much as 10-30% of it’s full rated refrigerant charge missing,
with out noticeable degradation in the feel of the
cooling effect. The result is no cooling to the compressor, a
compressor that is not cooling is doomed for failure. Also
important to note is that any unit not running as designed will
be using much more energy then a properly running system – the
result higher gas and electric bills!
